[FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII

My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic

In Equestria, the monsters are kept in safe places, and can be beaten off with hugs and clothing and angry stares.
In Equestria, a benevolent goddess raises the sun and the moon, and keeps the world in harmony.
In Equestria, the concept of danger is barely understood.

This is not that Equestria.

The town of Bridle Shores lies near a lake, and is one of the cities that survived the revolution. The heroic Moon Goddess, and her student, overthrew the Burning Hate of the Iron Hoof, saving Equestria from the searing, unending summer that raged for years. Even now, she tries to hold against the monsters, the literal armies of feral species that attack.

This is not the Equestria you know. Friendship has power, love may yet triumph. But evil is not just a word. Go out into the woods today, and be sure to take an axe, or make sure you have that fireball spell on a hair-trigger. If you want to keep your life... you'd better work for it.

Rules?

Q: So, how dark are we talking?
A: As dark as Exalted or a darkish d&d game, no more. The idea should be that things ARE fixable.

Q: What kind of RP is this?
A: More active than the non-grimdark. The added darkness makes actual adventure-style plots more viable. We could have wars against [unspecified villains], Celestial cults, and dungeoncrawling!

"Your approval means so much to me, Stellar...the shame is almost indescribable."

"She still only actually killed one pony, though, 'n ya saw her when she did. It's not like she's threatened an entire town with earthquakes or anything."

Blades patted Arvadraa on the back. "Don't worry. Ya'll be all right. Ya're a good type."

Sandy shook himself down and gathered his wits. This was no time to be hung up on Noodle incidents. Literally, in this case. "Alright, alright, we gotta think. With our recent addition t'the group," he shot a glare at the ninja pegasus. "I don't know if we'll get much more outta our prisoner. There's gotta be some clue or somethin' we ain't lookin' at. Somethin' she said or did that'll lead us on th' right track-"

"...speak of th' devil." Sandy readied another stake. "Ya'll keep thinkin', I won't be a minute." And with that, he ran off to try and put a stake back through the vampony's leg. And helpfully divided up the scene into two smaller, more manageable chunks.

"Maybe she was directly leading us in the opposite direction. We could start by searching on the other side of town," Silverpine offered.

Something doesn't add up here. One doesn't, under the threat of a rather sadistic execution and when you have known allies that could otherwise bail you out, lead somepony on a red herring that would make them mad.

"There has to be a connection here," Staccata states in sort of a fragment of a thought. Wasn't there something in the news or rumors about this place. Either way, the mare follows Sandy back to the prisoner Vampony, her body language and expression stating that she made the mare that didn't want to kill her very mad.

"Weren't you glamoured and walking south not too long ago too?" Gearstride told Silverpine, eying from the corner of her eyes Sandy and Staccata off to keep their prisoner in check. "And wasn't south in the crypt where we encountered that minion?"
"I can't believed I didn't see through her bullmanure about their lair's secrecy having had been compromised, she went and wasted our time!" Miss M growled stomping a hoof against the ground.

Meanwhile, the vampony mare was recovering, her body repairing itself, her ghoulish burntness looking a little better. She backed away when she saw Sandy and Staccata walk towards her. "G-get away!" She lowered her head and tried to feebly back away from them.

Blades patted Arvadraa on the back. "Don't worry. Ya'll be all right. Ya're a good type."

"Well, keep racking them up, you'll get there eventually."

"For the sake of your continued existance, I'm not going to respond to that."

"See? There you go, perfect!"

"Associates of the female persuasion if I may intervene? ...Thank you."

The metalworker twitched her ears a bit. "What kind of tests are ya thinkin' of, anyway?" She may have been crazy, but she wasn't completely clueless, and the mention of test subjects made her just a little suspicious.

"None on you. My first questions will revolve around semiphysical lightless constucts created and shaped by magical auras, possibly infused via universal strain on a particular offensive common object. Afterwards, I will begin work on the creation of an amalgam, which will provide various specific antimana preventions on the bearer. Stellar can take care of the general reinforcement during the infusion process."

"Excellent. Now again, but intelligible."

"He's gonna make armor that'll feasibly protect against pretty much every type of magic and a sword made out of shadow that can cut through armor. Then I'm gonna make some improvements so neither of them break."

D&D is the only game I can think of (with the possible exception of Calvinball) where the only way to lose is by playing to win.

Approaching the vampony in a slightly intimidating manner, Staccata shoots a short glare before speaking. "Are you stupid or have you been lied to? Think very carefully about what you'll say, I may not care enough to stop my friend here from doing what he really wanted to do this whole time."

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII

The ninja fluttered next to the advancing Staccata and Sandy. In a soft but serious voice. she says "You do know what happens to a ninja who fails to protect his or her escort?"

About this time, all of the vamponies could have been able to recognize the strange scent about the ninja. It was a bodily odor that displayed her changing hormonal levels and metabolism shifts. It wasn't a pheromone from heat. It was something else.

Sandy briefly wondered what Staccata was talking about, before remembering that she seemed a much better liar than him. Nothing for it but to play along then. He made a show of readying his stake, this time not obviously going for the leg.

"Not entirely." Sandy answered, not taking his eyes of the prisoner. "Can't imagine it's anythin' good. An' if that's th' case, then ain't it in your best interest that we get th' info we need outta her?"

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII

Its problem of having heightened senses when it came to being able to smell the blood in others, because there just always had to be the ones with weird blood that made them standout, and rarely was standing out a good thing. The vamponies could smell the strange blood, along with Sandy's ever present weird blood smell, but that was it.

Anyways, meadow took the opportunity to hide behind the ninja, fifteen feet away. Her body was still repairing itself from the severe burns and the poison in her body, so she was not in the condition to be all "vampy powers activate!" and run out of here with her super speed. She was rather mortal right now.
"I'm...n-not going to tell you guys anything!" She sputtered being obstinate, continuing to be uncooperative, relying on the obstacle that was the ninja.

"Oh! Not often that I get to work on shadows, let me tell ya that! Of course, it might be easier if I could actually make the materials, 'n I was sure they wouldn't fade without magic or anything... Anyway, when will ya be gettin' started?"

Staccata, alright she's a little annoyed at this, so she advances on the pair of ponies that aren't in the 'shake down the vampony for info' crowd. "Do you know how much I care about not hurting somepony that leads us to a trap? You're going to talk, or your little pony shield gets knocked out and we'll make you."

"The shadow will be infused during the process of crafting. This will begin as normal swordmaking. Assuming I can find something conclusive. I will begin immediately, and work through the night if possible. Fortunately, it will give you friend time to rest."

"Whereas I will probably be getting none."

"Most likely."

"Great. Let's get to work."

Stellar helps out by gathering various materials and making (ludicrously complex) sketches of end products, while Horne makes several attempts at shaping shadowmass into a dagger-like shape and slashing at an armor stand.

Flippy waves a hoof as the pair departs, flying off in different directions. Oddly enough for such happy news, both of them seemed remarkably somber. Hopefully it would cheer Feathergrin up, though. He very much liked that land-brother. The mere thought cheered him immensely, and he dove back under.

He smiled and greeted his friends (hippocampi and water creatures alike) on his way back to his home. Most of his stash of magic items had been depleted and given to Snowstorm and Moonshine, but he didn't mind. It meant more room and more projects.

He laughed softly, the sound bouncing around everywhere and coming back in a lovely echoing tune that he always enjoyed. He could never get the hang of echolocation like his mother and cousins could, but he tried all the same.

However, his home was not as empty as he thought. When he swam in, the light brown unicorn caught more of his attention. However, hers was not an unwelcome visit.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Shore! Hello hi hay!" He swam in circles and nuzzled her happily in greeting. Past the filtering spell that covered her face, he could see her smile and hear her chuckle. He liked her chuckle, he thought to himself. It was much like his. The thought made his smile recede somewhat.

"Flippy, hello. I was wondering when you'd be back." Her high-class Canterlot tone boomed slightly through her spell, driving Flippy's limited echolocation crazy. However, he'd had some practice in making it less effective at that.

"Yes. I've been thinking some things over lately, and...I think I've come to a decision regarding your...last question. Or set of them, rather." She glanced away awkwardly, tone shifting to rather hesitant. Flippy, for his part, slid back to right-side-up (such as it was in this environment) and adopted a serious expression.

"Are you sure? Not everyplace is friend and more friend with not a danger and not a dark."

"I know. But...well..." She 'stood' in a proud position, head raising to emphasize her increased will in this matter. "I can't stay down here forever. You know that. I adore this place, my home, my friends, my family. But it's a big world. And I want to explore it."

"I understand, yes. Oh don't look surprised so. You aren't the only one here to have felt this way. Or to have acted on it. I don't blame you for wanting to see...all of it."

Golden Shore blinked. Twice. "I...well. I expected to have to do more negotiating."

Flippy felt a twinge. Should he tell her? Did anything mean 'anything'? This may well be his last chance. He briefly reflected that the next time he saw Taylor, he'd hug him more tightly than normal. He could understand his choices now more acutely than ever.

"More than one thing. First...don't go unprepared. Take whatever you need from here. There isn't much now, but I don't make useless things, mm? Second, you know my family above, yes? Yes. If you see them, go with them. Tell them who you are, they can help. Will help. You can trust any of them with your gills."

"I...your...? Thank you." She glanced down at a small alcove nearby, where a small amount of light shone through even the magically lightless spot. "And I will see if I can find them. Crests know they can help with many things."

Another twinge, this one deeper into his heart. He should. But he shouldn't. This could be it. But she would be back. But perhaps not. But...

"Shore?" His anxiety was very audible, trembles running through his body and tongue, but even more obvious was guilt. She tilted her head and lowered her eyebrows, confused by this rare manner from him. "...I...Always remember...you...you have a home here. A...a family."

She hugged him. No casual greeting. This was understanding, hope, assurance. "I will. I will. And I will come back. I don't know when, but I'll return."

Such a strong mare, Flippy thought. Confident. She'll do well. Just like her mother.

Just like her father.

D&D is the only game I can think of (with the possible exception of Calvinball) where the only way to lose is by playing to win.

"Well, technically, we're going to make her talk one way or another anyway," Silverpine deadpanned. A dry sense of wit always eased the tension, he observed. Most of the time.

"I...didn't mean to lead you into a trap..I was just wanted to send you on a wild goose hunt!" She yelled trying to sound braver than she was right now. Come on body...hurry and heal up...then ya can mop the floor with these chumps....or actually, just run away, cough. "I didn't even know there was a crazy pony with a thing for tentacles there!

Gearstride frowned, her own words being neglected in favor of the attention hogging evil vampony who just needed a stake through the chest now.
"Well, I think you have something there, ma'am," Zephyr told her trying to cheer her up.
"And sometimes it is just right under our noses," Miss M sighed and then suddenly in four seconds appeared behind Meadow who 'waahed' in surprise. Miss M then bucked the other vampony in the back, sending her sliding to Staccata and Sandy, away past from the ninja guard.

Being the only ninja in the area, the ninja summoned all the ninjutsu in the area. She opened one of her pockets and suited up in the Meadow costume.

She sew it together when Meadow and her master had relations. The image of her lord fooling around with another mare. The thoughts sped her hooves on that sewing machine. Such jealousy.

Now dressed as Meadow she shifted her aside in a dart of her fast wings. With their places switched, the ninja shoved hher extra ninja uniform on Meadow.

YOU FOOL!

Unfortunately, now there are two ninja and ninjutsu is not conserved. The true ninja's strength and speed dropped dramatically and she takes Miss M's hit hard. She is out cold.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII

Sandy raised his stake high and...watched as the 'vampony' tumbled to his hooves in an ungainly heap. Sheesh, how dumb did she think they were? "Yeah, yeah, cut th' act, y'ain't foolin' nopony." He poked at her foreleg with the stake, just enough to draw a bit of blood. She didn't move a muscle. "Huh." The engineer scratched his head with the dull end of the stake. "Guess havin' that stake in her kept her weaker than I thought."

All the while, his attention was off the "ninja".

Good gravy, time warping ninja shenanigans complete with the background having speed lines and the scene itself looking like funky edit still cuts. Gearstride, the two vamponies, and even Meadow herself to a certain extent were all completely derped as they watched this.

Sandy had a brief moment of confusion, looking between the downed "Meadow" and the ninja slinking away without another word, before it finally clicked for him. He galloped up to catch up with Staccata, stake once again at the ready. "Y'got anythin' t'say now?" he added. Wasn't quite as intimidating coming from a stallion looking to be about ten years younger than he was, but at least he was the one holding the stake.

The fire continued as there was no more input of the ponies working to snuff it all out, just that one spot. They needed to contain it before it got worse, right now it was still just within manageable levels.

"Baby, can you fly us out of where?" The unicorn asked his mate in worry.

"No...that stupid idea with the lightning took too much out of me...nggh..."

"Manure....its alright, I'll carry you alright? We'll get out of here, feed on some ponies, you'll feel better, alright?"

Grubbs was getting impatient, his hopes dashed as time went on and his so called saviors had not made any more noticeable progress. "aaargh.....damn 'ems, I is gonna tells the master on dem vampies!"

"Something tells me you have faith in the wrong places...you'll probably mind anyway, so...why? Not that my preconceptions don't seem obvious to me, but there's probably a bigger story here. What've they done for you?"

"...A-lright.."

Meanwhile, Daniel still has absolutely no clue. "Report. Flies against the cart still in progress?"

D&D is the only game I can think of (with the possible exception of Calvinball) where the only way to lose is by playing to win.

Still advancing, Staccata takes an uncaring dark tone. "Your master that has done nothing to save you, that brings you to the one town most likely to be your death, and you'd die for that? slowly?"

"Yes, that very one I am devoted to utterly! How else should it be?? She simple stated, limping away still, trying to buy time until her body repaired itself. Just keep 'em asking questions...

Sandy shot Zephyr a raised eyebrow. He didn't buy the "had to be loyal to master" one bit, but seeing how they had their own vampony progeny right here, it didn't hurt to fact-check.

Zephyr frowned watching this and lifted in a fore leg towards himself, his ears lowered like a puppy's. "...A bit of that is kinda true...I mean...I could never bring myself to betray Miss M for anything...like it doesn't exist in me to be able to do so. But then again....I have no reason to want to be disloyal to her, so I dunno really." He pawed at the ground.

"See? see?....It's not my fault! I have to be loyal! You can't kill me for that!!" Meadow shouted making use of Zephyr's words... more time, more time...then...I could...escape....tell the master....we'll be prepared for them...one by one...they'll fall...Master will be pleased...! Meadow clutched at her head for a moment, closing her eyes and grunted.
"Maybe not that, but you may be punished for your crimes of any and all victims who fell by your hooves!" Gearstride shouted with a snort. "We don't really need your cooperation anyway, I figured it out, from our earlier investigations and when you had my lieutenant walk south all zombified when you glamored him!"
================================================== =====

Back at the Cirrus

The unicorn carried his lady love on his back, her fore legs draped over the sides of his neck as he scrambled about on the ground. He could risk using his super speed as he risked his lady love slipping off and getting hurt. It sucked having to run at a normal gallop. He tried to run around the back, but the security system's automatic turrets were shooting at him with extreme prejudiced. It took a lot to avoid the bullets and keep his darling from falling off and being a static target.

He then tried to dive into the forest only to find a missile locked on him as he feinted a moved to the side as it exploded in front of him. "Oh mah gosh...! What the fuq kind of bullmanure is this??" He scrambled picking up his lady love who slipped off. He was kinda in adrenaline panic mode, he couldn't quite concentrate right on his surroundings. He was barely with his heighten senses able to dodge a lot of projectiles. Damnit, he really should have had dinner earlier when he had the chance.
